I've told these stories before
But they are applicable to this thread
1) Back in the day, a friend of mine would bring a big box or two to one of my LCS. My friend who owned the store always gave me a shot to take the box home and go through them or do them at the store for a very reasonable price point. Pulled about 5 Fergie Jenkins RC's (they were probably $5-10 each at the time) and thought that was good for each of us. There were another 115 of those Jenkins RC's in that box. We told the dealer who was in town to visit his folks and he let us keep like 5 each and we gladly gave him back over 100 Jenkins RC's 2) At the 2019 NSCC one of my friends had a 68 Topps White Letter Mike McCormick in his $1 bin. I went back and forth with self-discussion before telling him. We ended up sending the card to PSA and split the proceeds. Doing the right thing, especially with friends, pays off not only in the short term but in the long term as well. Now if either of those people were schmucks, well that can be a different subject

Not sports related but..
Had a table at a paper/movie memorabilia show in NYC in the late 1990s. Before the show started i was going around to other tables. Guy had a box of folded movie posters priced at $5 each (i guess that meets the $5 box criteria of this thread). The posters were from the 40s and 50s so I figured it was worth it to have a look see. About half way down the word "Laura" was written in pencil on the folded side of one poster. I figured it had to mean one.of the stars of the film. Couldn't be the movie by that name. Started to unfold it and got about 1/4 of the way and realized it was indeed the movie Laura. Original release. Still have the poster. Worth a few thousand even back then.
